Cody kites are very cool.





This is also cool but it would be cooler if it could carry people.





Animal kites also seem pretty great.





I think I want to make some sort of box kite.

James Lake

James Lake makes sculptures out of cardboard. His sculptures are often of people.  James is a disabled artist, and he seeks to make work that cannot be marginalized in an attempt to break barriers in the art world.
